Could you name a few of those schools please. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What I really appreciated was when my preceptor asked me how do I learn best. And I told her honesty. Show me the first time. Then let me do it but walk me thru it the second time and then help me only if I'm doing it wrong on the rest. It helps rein...

Acetaminophen is Tylenol but it isn't aspirin or an nsaid. An nsaid would be like ibuprofen.

I think the common attitude is that the critical care setting, any whether micu, nicu, ,cicu is tough for a new grad and hard to get in as a new grad. So it could be they think you should get a foundation on med surg first (I'm not saying this is nec...

I feel like ivp of metoprolol will have effects on the blood pressure and heart rate but not necessarily the pvc right away. Some people just don't like to respond. This is all purely speculation on my part tho. What about hydralyzine to lower the b...

I'm pretty much new to ccu, but what about an amio bolus and nitro drip. Then correct whatever lytes as well.

And that's why I moved away from New York to get some job experience

I have to say that when I found out about what happened in Orlando, I was very sad. Sad for the lives lost but also sad at the state of the world in which I live in. It just astounds me, angers me to tears, and saddens me that how i live my life and ...

Once you get your RN and a couple of years experience in icu, there should be schools will accept you, provided you are competitive (grades, experience, interview, etc. ) But if you mean are there any direct entry programs to crna, I doubt it. I have...

Since I cannot be certain about how the charge addressed it, I will say that you should have probably started a new one. If the patient has something running like amiodarone or an antibiotic like vancomycin in a peripheral, and they're complaint abou...

As a gay man, and in the spirit of everyone being able to share their opinions, I am calling your statements a load of crap. You can call yourself not a victim/survivor , you can say you did it to yourself, but hey some might call that denial or rati...

My apologies, you caught me exaggerating.

I've had a recurring nightmare where I am informed that I actually didn't complete all my courses in high school and that I had to go back. And of course I remember nothing from high school so I do terrible in that dream, and forget to do my homework...

It was probably just some blood back flowing. It happens a lot with high blood pressure people and very slow infusion rate, or in your case not infusing. Next time don't set the pump to infuse the whole volume. If I have a 500ml bag I set it to infus...

Oh man so many wowers in here, not gonna lie that game was addicting. But fortunately it has become boring to me now. Anywho, too many people view gamers as people who are lazy, unmotivated, and won't accomplish anything but I am glad that I got ple...

Let's be real. As an rn if I have a colleague who makes a mistake that I didn't expect them to, then I'm gonna be double checking their work the next time till I feel that they're not gonna make the same mistake again. It's part of our defense mechan...

If your patient has arrhythmia, do not go by pulse ox to get the hr, especially atrial fibrillation. The pulse ox will at times count the p waves as a beat and give you an inaccurate number. Always go by your tele box over that pulse ox. This is a ve...

I am born and raised in New York City, graduated with my associates and got my license in 2015, I applied to a job in North Dakota and got a call back the next day and a job offer within 3 days. Got hired as an inpatient cardiac progressive care nurs...

As someone near the twin cities, I do have to say that a lot of new grads don't get jobs there right away. There are a lot of people who go to hospitals in smaller cities in the North Dakota/Minnesota region to get their 1 year experience before movi...

Where's the documented errors and behavioral issues?

Oh world of Warcraft, what an addicting game that was. I really shouldn't have been playing that while I was in nursing school but I've been 3 years clean from that mess But in all seriousness, I do find myself not wanting to go out most of the time...

Yup, push in the Benadryl very slowly. The ones that want you to slam it in are the ones that raise suspicion.

I see you that you are a new member. People will be more than willing to help guide you to an answer if you show us what you're thinking of first. Personally it sounds to me they want you to describe how you would implement and encourage staff to com...

I'm going to have to disagree with that statement because it is too general and broad. While I do feel that the hospital trained certificate nurses were quicker to hit the floor running than the "academic" trained nurses, I do not believe that all ed...

Just to clarify, why did you give the Benadryl? Was the patient asking for it? Or did you give it to snowball the patient?
